HE will go down as never being able to win a championship without forming a dream team - I love seeing Cleveland fans now giving him a pass, the excuses never stop for this crybaby of an athlete.

Freak athlete. Big disappointment for the talents he possesses. Should have went to college. For 4 years.

He should get tons of fines for flopping, but what can you do other than that?

In the playoffs, players are fined $5,000 for their first flopping offense, $10,000 for a second, $15,000 for a third, and $30,000 for a fourth. Any player who flops five or more times could be suspended.



By not fining him, his silly antics will continue... such little monetary loss will not make him stop...but the bad publicity will stop an action that really is not very beneficial to him in the first place....


a tweet after Lebron was fined...


FWIW, LeBron James' $5,000 fine was equivalent to the average American ($43K/yr) getting hit with a $12 fine.

Exactly... bud publicity should do the work... hopefully...

He doesn't give a shit about flopping. Here's what he had to say regarding one a few years ago where he did get fined.

Or he'll straight up lie like here...

He always says he wants to say something else but instead is just going to be the bigger man or take the high road. People who do that don't announce it every time controversy arises. It's so much easier to like him just watching from the periphery.
 
Lebron left Cleveland when the going got tough. Understandable because the franchise was poorly run and still is imo. Going to Miami was like him going to college in a lot of ways.... but really it was all Pat Riley

The players get the love and the hate but..... It always starts from the top.
 
Marc Davis officiating tonight..... big UNDER ref

does anyone have a list of his recent 10 games, including the playoffs?
 
Marc Davis (342-281, +45.22 units won) has been the most profitable "under" ref in our database. He'll be working Game 5 tonight. #NBAFinals


no way I can play the under though. This could turn into another laugher and if so you could see the cavs completely crumble.... Should be fun. The absence of green isn't going to matter as much with this being a close out game at home imho. Every single other warrior will step up to fill his void. That is why the star player out angle works. No boost of energy will be needed.

And I think Andre could win MVP again with some timely momentum swinging plays today. As well as curry not going off for 30+
 
Like the Cavs tonight without Green. He's been a huge factor this series, not just physically but mentally. And we all know the Cavs have a ton of mental issues on that squad. I'd expect to see one of the best games of Lebron's career tonight. I'd take all of his props OVER, and I might do that myself if my book offers them.
 
Looking for thoughts from the math guys in here:

Is the money line the appropriate way to play this tonight? Where is the value without Green?
 
Warriors are too deep and Cavs have sucked on the road. Cavs have no shot tonight. LeQueen is still being guarded by Iggy and can score 40 tonight and still lose with as bad as the supporting cast has been on the road.
 
I would like to see a tight game but man it's hard to pull for Lebron
 
He isn't one of the top three players on the floor but he is the biggest mismatch on the floor. It is kind of a big deal

I expect a big game from Kevin Love and him also to get blamed for the loss..
 
Cavs gonna get better looks inside with no Dray, so yeah the over is the logical choice but Dray's also an integral part of the Dubs' offense.
 
Close game decided by 1 or 2 possessions either way or Cavs blowout. That's how I'm reading it, former being the stronger probability.
 
Would have been better for the Dubs if they didn't say anything and did their talking on the court,

But they've given the Cavs incentives as well.

Klay should have shut his mouth.

Will be an interesting game for sure.
 
local has warriors -22 +500



feel like this line should be more like +250 tbh because if it gets to be that type of the game the warriors aint gonna let up after what has transpired the past 48 hours
